How Man Utd could line up against West Ham with Cristiano Ronaldo keeping place and double injury boost


CRISTIANO RONALDO will be looking to continue his red hot form in front of goal when Manchester United face West Ham on Sunday.

The 36-year-old scored two against Newcastle on his second debut, and followed it up with a goal against Young Boys in the Champions League.

But Ronaldo’s goal wasn’t enough to secure the win as Young Boys came from behind to pull off a shock 2-1 win.

Now United travel to the London Stadium to face former boss Davie Moyes’ in form Hammers.

Ronaldo is set to keep his place in the starting line-up, with Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood playing behind him.

Paul Pogba will most likely start in the midfield alongside Nemanja Matic.

And United’s backline from their last league game will remain unchanged from their last Premier League game.

Luke Shaw, club captain Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are all expected to start in front of David de Gea.

Alternatively, Scott McTominay – who returned to training on Thursday after a spell on the sidelines – could start.

If he’s deemed fit enough to start, Pogba could be moved up into the three behind Ronaldo.

And Fred could come into the midfield to reunite the McFred partnership.

Dean Henderson got some minutes under his belt for the U23s, but he’s unlikely to start.

How Man Utd could alternatively line-up

Edinson Cavani will be a notable absence for Man Utd.

Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the 34-year-old will resume training after this weekend.

He could, however, get more minutes under his belt mid-week when West Ham travel to United in the Carabao Cup.
